… maintaining the appearance of something can help bring about the reality of it.

I wasn’t happy when Dan started dating Harper. She’s attractive, but hardly daughter-in-law material. No witch folk are. It’s in their nature to be a little… loose…
Bea would have been a better match. Harper is strange and free-spirited, always disappearing at weekends. I know that used to drive Dan mad, because she’s never watch his games and cheer him on as a girlfriend should, and they’d fight about it.

She was training herself to stop loving something she couldn’t have.
